[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 110799, member: 10"] Was able to get out last night again and dial in this customers 270 AM at 1000 yards. With the same load I used in the previous post I loaded all the data and specs into Exbal and set up on a 10" rock at a measured 1058 yards. With a 2.2" high impact at 100 yards Exbal was predicting to use -4.75 Mil as a reference hold point for this range. The wind was right in my face at around 8 mph so I did not allow for any windage. First shot off a 9" bipod and rear bag landed a foot and a half to the right but the vertical was dead on the money. Made a scope adjustment and the second shot hammered the rock as did the third shot. Found a new target roughly the same size at 898 yards. Exbal said to use the -3.7 Mil hold. The angle was differnet for this target so the wind was more of a factor. Exbal said to hold .5 mil into the wind. I set up and fired three rounds as quickly but as accurately as I could. Three for three!!! On a roughly 10" target at that range with a sporter weight rifle I figured was plenty good for the rifle to ship. US869 stayed consistant enough to make accurate hits at 1K and a bit beyond using the same velocity averges from the earlier test. I did not rechrono this load at the time of the 1000 yard testing and everything appears to be staying very consistant. Good outing. Only thing I wise is that 869 was a bit slower burning so there would be a bit higher load density in the case but it does not appear to make alot of difference so far. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
